The Missouri Tigers received a significant piece of positive news this offseason with the return of starting left tackle Cayden Green, providing stability and experience to the offensive line ahead of the 2026 season.
Green’s decision to return gives head coach Eli Drinkwitz and his staff a proven anchor on the blind side, easing some of the uncertainty created by offseason departures along the line. His presence immediately strengthens a unit that will play a critical role in Missouri’s offensive plans moving forward.
During his time with the Tigers, Green has established himself as a reliable and physical lineman, capable of handling top-level pass rushers while also contributing in the run game. His return offers continuity up front and allows the coaching staff greater flexibility as it evaluates other positions of need, including potential transfer portal additions.
With several roster questions still to be addressed, having Green locked in at left tackle provides a foundation for Missouri as it prepares for spring practices and the upcoming season. The move reinforces the Tigers’ commitment to building from the trenches as they aim to remain competitive in the SEC.
